Study description
The study is needed to test a new drug called S095029 in combination with an approved drug called pembrolizumab in patients with stomach cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The gastroesophageal junction is where the stomach meets the oesophagus (the tube that connects the throat to the stomach).
Normally, the immune system protects the body from foreign substances and fights diseases, including cancer. However, cancer cells can find ways to escape from immune cells, allowing them to survive and spread.
S095029 is an antibody, a protein that helps the body’s immune system fight cancer cells.
Researchers hope that by combining S095029 with other drugs like pembrolizumab, the treatment will be more effective against cancer cells. Pembrolizumab is another type of antibody. It helps immune cells by blocking PD-1, a protein that cancer cells use to escape immune system.
The main goal of the study is to see how safe S095029 is when used with pembrolizumab in participants with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). The study will also check how well the combination of these two drugs works.
- S095029
- pembrolizumab 200 mg (KEYTRUDA ®)

Male/FemaleAccepts Healthy Volunteers
NoTo take part in the study, participants have to:
- Be adults aged 18 or older.
- Have unresectable or metastatic stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
- Be generally healthy with well-functioning bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are made), liver and kidneys.
Participants cannot take part in the study if:
- They have previously received a treatment that is similar to the study drug.
- They have received any other treatments for their cancer in the 4 weeks before starting the study.
- They have received radiation therapy in the 2 weeks before starting the study.
How is the study designed?
Participants will receive S095029 through infusion (injection given slowly) into a vein every 3 weeks.
Participants will receive 200 mg of pembrolizumab infusion (injection given slowly) into a vein every 3 weeks.
